You're talking about the Amazon app. Technically, the fact that you can add your credit card to pay for things violates the TOS. You never see anyone put up a fight against a giant.
- floatingatoll 5y agoIncorrect; Apple allows apps associated with purchases and rentals of physical objects to add credit cards to pay for things. In one digital goods example, Kindle books are not “sold”, even though Amazon uses the word “Buy” in the button; if Amazon truly sold you a Kindle book, then they would be required to provide it to you upon terminating your account, as it is your possession in their care, and withholding it upon request would be grounds for a lawsuit. Under such a scenario, Amazon could successfully argue that Kindle purchase should be given the same rights as physical purchases, as they are truly purchases and not just “licenses”. Amazon has chosen not to pursue that scenario to date, as granting each of us full ownership of a copy of a digital good would compel Amazon to act in ways that are hostile to Amazon’s interests.
